Although organizers of the University of Santo Tomas Paskuhan 2016 have not released an official statement on the guest artists' issues, UST Student Organizations Coordinating Council (SOCC) President broke her silence on Twitter.

@levlocson AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, WE ASKED TALENTS TO MOVE IT EARLIER FOR A LONGER SET, BUT THEY DECLINED IT

In one of her tweets, UST SOCC President Lois Locson said that they asked the artists to move the set earlier to make it longer but Milesexperience keyboardist Guido Hizon and Jensen and the Flips' Carlo Maraingan and Choi Padilla refuted the claim.

No such thing happened. In fact, you promised 45 minutes. Want to see our MOA that you signed? https://t.co/7z63ZIPKRi

Locson had earlier said in a series of tweets that they did everything they could to make the annual tradition enjoyable for the Thomasian community but they also have limited control over the event. She also assured that she had apologize to the talents because of the "mistakes" and "changes."

IF ONLY WE CAN CONTROL WHERE TO HAVE PASKUHAN, WE WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN GRANDSTAND.
